In producing its pro cameras, Nikon is aiming for the PJ market, where high resolution/pixel count is not an issue - a 5 mpg processor can easily produce high-quality newspaper images,and can even produce good quality magazine images. Rather than engage in the megatonage race, Nikon has put its emphasis on improving battery life, reducing batter demand, increasing image capture speed, and other things that PJs in the field need far more than higher resolution. -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Christopher Williams Sent: Monday, November 22, 2004 12:34 AM To: Leica Users Group Subject: [Leica] Re: Nikon's profits tripled Guess I should not bother posting limited 800iso D2h photos then.
